Feels a bit wrong that you can vote for your own topic? Maybe for your own topics the vote button should be unclickable and greyed out, with mouseover text saying something along the lines of ‘You can’t vote for your own topic.’?

Alternatively, add a setting:  
Name: topic voting vote for own topic  
Description: Allow users to vote on topics they’ve created?
